why yugioh tho? those cards arent nearly as aesthetic as mtg

>>17198719
I got fascinated with rare coins for like a couple of hours one night. Blows my mind that people will pay tens of thousands of dollars for a penny with wheat on the back and because the person printing the coin at the mint fucked up

Shh I'm still accumulating.

Raised in the 90's.
Literally not throwing away a single thing, there will always be collectors.

BUT ITS THE BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON

my buddy has an entire binder full of holo pokemon cards we looked at some of the value on the cards and they were going from anywhere to 200-1200 and he has tons of repeating very rare cards, seriously his binder is probably 50-100k, but he values the sentiment more that's why I think they have autistic valuations because your customer is an autist that doesnt value money anyway

good on him for not getting jewish about it

Aesthetic schmaesthetic. Untaxable, off the books income is good. Same reason people pay millions for art, whether it's a masterpiece or a single inkblot on a posterboard.

>>17198832
well thats one reason, but there are many variants of the types of people who would get into art dealing or things like that. for me, ive played magic, i would probably fall under the i prized my collection category

my friend prints up rare cards for everything, yugioh pokemon you name it. sometimes he gets seethed messages on ebay from collectors and we have a good kek about it

I don’t know what it is about collecting but I love it. Haven’t done it in a decade though as I prefer building assets. When I make it I’ll probably get into mineral collecting. Hunting for the most aesthetic rare crystals I can find.

>>17198943
yea theres really no harm on missing out a few years of not collecting because if you build a majority of your capital elsewhere, like a high paying job or investments you'd be able to just buy all those collectors items some time down the road

>>17198719
I had a whole buckets worth of old yugiyoh and pokemon cards, cant believe I threw them all away. Likely lost out on thousands of dollars

>>17198790
Yeah right, unless they are all shadowless charizards or something, most holos are just a few dollars if that topping out at less than a hundred bucks.
